First I must apologize for not posting in a while! I’ve been out of town for the past two weekends blah, blah! excuses, excuses!
Anyway, this weekend we visited some family members in Savannah, Georgia (it was absolutely beautiful, we’ll talk about that in another post). On my way back… on my flight from Jacksonville to Houston I had the rudest flight attendent.
I must say flight attendents have always been the nicest and most kind folks I have ever met and ALWAYS, ALWAYS friendly. Not this guy! He had a chip on his shoulder and wasn’t happy to be at work.
Long story short when he was picking up our airplane snack leftovers for the trash… he spilled the stuff all over me (accidents happen… I wouldn’t have minded that), but this guy NEVER said I’m sorry or even tried to help us. Moments later I tapped him on the back to throw something else away and he snapped at me. What happened to customer service? I’ll be giving his boss a call tomorrow!
Hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July holiday. Much of the KTBS staff spent our holiday at the Independence Day Celebration. Did you catch it? What did you think? I must say I was really impressed with the fireworks show. It was one of the best I’ve ever seen.
Something else on my mind…. Sarah Palin’s surprise resignation. Thoughts? What do you think is her next move??
Also, I heard this over and over this weekend… people telling me they’re tired of hearing about Michael Jackson. How about you? Are you still interested or do you turn the channel?
Is it safe to have a glass of wine while breastfeeding? How about two glasses??
I just read an article about a 26 year old mother who pleaded guilty to child neglect for breast feeding while intoxicated. I promise I’m not making this stuff up!
Apparently neighbors called the police when they saw the mother slurring her speech and breast feeding her six-week old baby.
The Louisiana legislature has been dealing with serious issues… like cuts to health care and higher education, but Wednesday afternoon, on the eve of their adjournment, they took a little time for some rapping.
Shreveport Rep. Barbara Norton, who is the godmother of Hurricane Chris introduced him to some of the state’s leaders… then Hurricane Chris performs part of his hit Halle Berry… She’s Fine.
I couldn’t make this stuff up!
The legislature is being ridiculed on the internet. Some are saying it’s an embarrassment to the state. Whatcha think??
Four states have banned smiling in driver’s license photos. “Neutral facial expressions” are required at DMVs in Arkansas, Indiana, Nevada, Virginia. Apparently, this is supposed to stop driver’s license fraud.
I mean with the economy at an all time low… the least you can do is let folks smile when they want to smile!!
Twice in less than a week cell phones have gone off around me in places where they should have been put on silent!
Last Sunday at church I’m trying to listen to the preacher, but a lady at the end of the aisle was texting. The worst part… I could hear every time she punched a button. Who does that in church? Can’t we be without our cell phones for an hour?
Even if it was an emergency she should have stepped outside instead of disrupting everyone around her.
Another situation, just three days later… I was at an event… as we were praying a ladies phone goes off. By the time the lady was able to get to her phone someone had left her a message and this loud message ring goes off.
I understand accidents happen, but if you don’t know how to turn your cell phone on silent I think it’s probably best you leave it in the car.
Do you love wine? Do you love to eat? Do you love to twitter?
If so, a Sonoma winery has a real good job for you! They’re offering someone $10,000 a month for six months to tweet, blog and keep a photo and video web log for the company.
I’m not making this up! What’s the biggest cush job you’ve ever heard of?
Over the past few days my chocolate lab, Dude and I have been taking advantage of the nice weather. We’ve gone on several walks and jogs around my neighborhood.
But it never fails… at least twice in the past week I’ve looked back and seen Dude going number 2 in someone else’s yard. And, to make matters worse he seems to pick the yards where people are outside working. Yesterday, for example… the yard Dude choose… a man was working in his flower bed… luckily he didn’t see what happened.
My immediate response is always “Dude, no! Come on… that’s not our yard!” He just looks at me like I’m crazy! Meanwhile, I try to keep on walking hoping no one notices him doing his business.
I guess I’m going to have to start carrying around a pooper scooper! Ewwwwe!! I use to make fun of people who followed behind their dogs with one of those things. I guess what goes around comes around!! Oh well, it looks like Barbie uses one… so I guess I can!!
Just how far would you go to keep from being fired from your job?
a.) lie
b.) take credit for someone else’s work
c.) stab a coworker in the back?
d.) flirt with the boss
Well, apparently these types of things are happening more and more. Almost half of the respondents to a Fox News poll between 18 - 34 years old said they would engage in these acts to save their jobs.
If you watched KTBS 3 First News Sunday morning you may have caught this story.
Officials at Edison Junior High School in northeast Ohio got more than 700 applications for a full time janitorial job at the school. It pays 15-16 bucks an hour plus benefits.
Apparently, lots of applicants are laid-off workers.
Thoughts?
While we’re on the subject… has the faltering economy forced any of you to cut back? If so, on what?
